> "MARCEL, PREPARE FOR EVAC!  BRING THE WOUNDED."  shouted 'Raelf.

	Marcel had been staring dumbfounded at the chaos surrounding the
Great Mother.  Her monstrous children, for the moment, had vanished into
whatever corners they oozed from.  Only Thk, on the other side of the room
remained in combat, dueling with Paranachus.

	[You heard the man, let's boogie.]

	Marcel shook his head to clear his thoughts.  He looked about, and
saw the injured Colin.  He dashed over to his side, and carefully put his
arm around the injured ranger, and lifted him to his feet.
	"Can you walk?"  asked Marcel.
	"No, leg's busted." 
	"Pas probleme.  Lean on me."  The two slowly backed away from the
Great Mother, towards 'Raelf.

	As Colin and Marcel limped closer to 'Raelf.....

			CHAOS.

	...sage's shields save him.

	Thk's trident sparkles in his hands, and a shimmering blue-green
aura saves him.

	'Raelf's aetheric wards buckle, then shatter under the strain.
"Heinous," he whispers.  
	<<  engage mass/conv.  >>
    << WARNING: core breech.  intermix formula reaching criti- >>
	<< just do it >>

	'Raelf's form begins to flicker even faster. RockVoidFireAenigmaStorm.

	Marcel and Colin fell to the ground.  

	[Oooh, #$&^#cel.  We !@@er get the !@#) out of ~@@#@#%.]
	
	Marcel agonizingly got to his feet.  When the maelstrom erupted,
he had thrown Colin to the ground and fell on top of him.  His back was
blistered with sick green boils.  He wearily pulled Colin up, and the two
stumbled towards 'Raelf (?) who was unsteadily gesturing with his staff.
	"Dudes, the engines they canna take the strain.  We're leaving NOW!"
